0.5.1 September 4, 2026

Grid tiles no longer show broken-image icons during a big first study on a spinning drive: they shimmer as "preparing" and fill in as thumbnails become ready.

0.5.0 September 4, 2026

Apple Watch albums arrive: curated albums delivered as an auto-syncing Photos album or a shareable watch face file (beta). The Places map now works fully offline, and brand-new archives browse correctly from the first study.

0.4.0 July 22, 2026

All Our Years now notices when your archive drive changes: new photos get studied on their own, renamed folders keep everything they've learned, and missing photos are remembered instead of lost.

0.3.1 July 22, 2026

Overview and Places get themselves ready in the background, so switching to either feels instant. Plus small cleanups and installer polish.
